working

:

I have

NOT

fully tested yet:

- Battery life

- Power charging (Currently charged using PC USB connection)

- Long term stability ;) [Though no hang-ups since burning ROM yesterday]

* UPDATE: Jan 5, 2010: The below is no longer applicable and is not issue with ROM --> Culprit is AE Button Plus :confused:

* IGNORE THIS SECTION *

I have failed to:

- Have the phone ring for incoming calls :(...

Audio is working and all is properly set (Ring and Vibrate, not in Meeting Mode, Volume is Max, etc.) but it's muted when calls come in! Am currently using Bluetooth headset as a workaround :rolleyes:

* END OF IGNORE SECTION *

Overall, so far looks definitely a keeper! :)
